Question

Scott took out a 4-year car loan for $5,500. He paid back a total of $7,370. What interest rate did he pay for this loan?

A) 9.5%

B) 9%

C) 8.5%

D) 7.5%

Answer 1

Amount of car loan taken by Scott = $5500
Amount of loan paid back by Scott = $7370
Then
Amount of money paid as interest by Scott = (7370 - 5500) dollars
                                                                     = 1870 dollars
Then
Percentage of interest given for the car loan = (1870/5500) * 100
                                                                       = 1870/55
                                                                       = 34 percent
So Scott had to pay a total interest rate of 34% in the four years.I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand and solve future problems.
